Natural decor is often and mistakenly associated with muted “earth tones”, unbleached natural fibres, etc. Just look at what Nature truly has to offer!  Consider the colours of a harvest table and the coming palette of autumn leaves. We were meant to celebrate the full colour spectrum of the sun’ s healing rays, but in urban centres and spending so much time indoors, we rarely experience the full rotation of sun and moon.

Colour can come to us in a variety of “natural” ways. Did you know that essential oils can diffuse colour rays into the atmosphere? For example, the beautiful geranium oil will provide both pink and green healing rays. So, if you are “tired” of green, its balancing energy can be received this way. Natural gemstones offer both colour and energy to an environment are are known for their therapeutic benefits. Think of the comforting influence of rose quartz.

But it’s still Summer! I hope you have added herbs to your garden. The presence of cool green mint provides aroma and flavour for all seasons. Thyme’s aromatic leaves offer a gentle pink, mauve and white colour palette. As you move back indoors, think of adding a sprig of lavender to voile curtains!

Enjoy, and share your inspirations with me…
